Cornerstone Baptist Church - Cornwall Sermons

This week's episode of Our Big 5 focuses on worship. Along with the regular sermon, we get to hear from Derek MacDonald. He shares part of his story with us and outlines why worship in the lowest valleys is just as important as when we worship during the highest moments of our lives. Psalm 19:1-4 1 The heavens declare the glory of God;     the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2  Day after...

The Good Samaritan | Luke 10:30-35 30  In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.  31  A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.  32  So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, pas...

Romans 12:13 13  Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Hebrews 13:2 2  Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

*The keys that pastor Phil talks about in this episode were handed out to the members of the congregation at the start of the service.* Biblical Authority We believe the Bible is God's unique, inspired, entirely trustworthy written Word. With the Holy Spirit's help, it guides us into a life-transforming relationship with the living God. It shows us how to live in His Kingdom, equipping us...

Centrality of Christ Everything we do begins and ends with the person of Jesus 15  The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  16  For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.  17  He is before all things, and in him...

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 13  Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.  14  For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.  15  According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive...

1 Thessalonians 4:1-12 1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.  2  For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. 3  It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;  4 ...

1 Thessalonians 3:6  But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.

1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 1 You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results.  2  We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition.  3  For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.  4  On th...

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 1 Paul, Silas and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you. 2  We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in ourprayers.  3  We remember before our God andFather your work produced by faith, your labor prompted bylove, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. 4  Fo...

What is Jesus doing right now? In this message from our Jesus Is... series, we explore Jesus as the One who ascended into heaven and now resides at the right hand of the Father. While the cross and resurrection are central to the gospel, Christ's work did not end there. Scripture reveals that Jesus continues to intercede for His people, advocate on their behalf, and reign as King. Discover the...

The ONLY One Raised From the Dead In this episode, we explore the greatest event inhuman history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 8:18-22 The Cost of Following Jesus 18  When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. 19  Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” 20  Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 21  Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me...

Evan Jusdon walks us through the powerful “I Am” statements of Jesus.

Pastor Phil talks about does Jesus actually see us?

Pastor Hannah points out that while most of us agree love is important, we don’t always agree on what it actually looks like in practice.

The end justifies the means" is a controversial principle meaning that if a goal is important enough, any method (even morally dubious or unethical ones) used to achieve it is acceptable. Pastor Phil dives into this teaching as he shares how Jesus was our perfect example.

Revelation 10:9-10   So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’   I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.

Pastor Mike joins us this week to explore the hypostatic union of Jesus—how He is fully God and fully man.

LUKE 17:20-21 ON BEING ASKED BY THE PHARISEES WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD WOULD COME, JESUS REPLIED, "THE COMING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE OBSERVED, NOR WILL PEOPLE SAY, HERE IT IS BECAUSE THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS IN YOUR MIDST."
